Arb0r Day.
Topeka Capital.

All lovers of trees hold in grateful re-
membrance the name Of Hon. James
Hillhouse, of New Haven, Connecticut,
who beautifed that city by planting with
his own hands the elms that have since
made it famous. To our sister state on
the north belongs the honor of origina
ting Arbor Day. Thirteen years ago, at
the request of the state board of agricul-
ture, the governor of Nebraska set apart
day in April to be devoted to economic
since continued to recognize the day.
On the first days observance 1874
twelve millions of trees were planted.
Elsewhere. in recent years there have been
added the beautiful custom of planting
and dedicating trees to the memory of
distinguished and worthy persons with
appropriate literary and other exercises.
This custom, known as the Cincinnati
Plan," has been adopted by fifteen states
of the Union and by the Dominion of
Canada, and last year it crossed the water
into England itself.
The time will come when Arbor Day
will be to the children of the public
schools Of the land what May day has
long been to the young people of England.
The object of the institution of Arbor Day
is to induce the people to plant trees, to
beautify their homes, highways and pub
lie grounds.
Whittier says: "The wealth, beauty,
fertility and healthfulness of country
largely depend upon the conservation Of
the forests and the planting OF trees"
AS applied to our own beloved Kansas,
how strong are these words from the great
poet.
Governor Martin has designated April
14th as Arbor Day. The Capital trusts
that the people of Kansas will observe
the occasion in it's true meaning and
spirit. By so doing we can make our
own goodly heritage an earthly paradise,
and our children will live to see the day
when Kansas prairies, dotted all over
with beautiful groves, will excel in attract
iveness and grandeur the famous garden
of Eden

Instructive Experiments.

Mr.. f. S. Golf seems to have shown
that the hereditary law of transmission
of vigor and health holds as strongly in
the vegetable as in the animal kingdom.
He selected seeds in 1888 from feeble
tomato plant and a healthy tomato plant
of the same variety. The next spring
the two kinds of seeds were sown and
the growing plants transplanted to ad-
joining rows in the garden. A row of
feeble plants from the feeble parent
and row of healthy plants from the
other were the result. The difference
was so marked that it was difficult to
believe the plants were of the same
variety. The same selections of seeds
were continued through 1886 and 1886,
with the same results. Last season the
progeny of the feeble plant of 1883
scarcely exceeded one-fourth the size of
that of the vigorous one, while the
plants lay PROSTATE on the ground with
discolored and shriveled foliage, and
with the fruits fully one-half decayed
before frost came. In another series
of experiments plants were grown
through three successive generations
from seed taken from green tomatoes.
The effect of the immature seeds upon
the vigor of the progeny was precisely
similar to that of the seeds from the
enfeebled plant above noted. These
are certainly instructive experiments

knew of the farmers among his pat
rons, or perhaps they don't read pa
pers-the farmers-there. You reason
from personal acquaintance with what
is perhaps the most intelligent and best
educated class of farmers in our coun-
try-yes, in the world. Probably the
great mass of farmers have position
somewhere between the condition you
describe, and which exists in Vermont,
and the condition described by the
Pennsylvania Farmer. Yes, Vermont
farmers have to work, and zoe know of
no class of people having their living
to earn which lead life of luxurious
idleness. Every class knows its own
hardships, but not those of another
class, and so are liable to think they do
not exist. But they do, all the same,
and it will be very salubrious day
when class having no hardships and
contented with its lot finds an abiding
place on this planet.
